Our holiday location

Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel Island, Azores.

The Azores, an autonomous region of Portugal, are an archipelago of 9 islands in the mid-Atlantic. Our holidays are based in Ponta Delgada, the capital of Sao Miguel Island – the largest island in the archipelago.

The abundance of dolphins and whales around the islands make the Azores one of the key locations worldwide for whale and dolphin watching. Few locations in the world offer such immaculate landscape and exceptional marine wildlife. Read more about the Azores here

How to book your holiday and flights

We do not include flights in the cost of our holidays and we cannot book these for you. Please provisionally reserve your holiday with us by contacting us here, emailing us or by calling us on 01273 882778.

We shall hold your holiday for you while you book your flights following the guidance below. We shall then confirm your holiday for you after taking your flight details and payment of your holiday deposit or full balance if due.

Flying to the Azores has never been easier with direct flights on a Saturday (4hrs) from London Gatwick and Stansted and from Manchester on a Friday to PONTA DELGADA on Sao Miguel Island where our holiday is based. Alternatively you can get budget flights via Lisbon to Ponta Delgada (approx. 2hrs + 2hrs) and direct flights from other European cities and the USA and Canada.

The following airlines fly to Ponta Delgada (airport code PDL):

1) Ryanair – direct weekly service from London Stansted (Saturdays) and from Manchester (Fridays) to Ponta Delgada and twice daily services from Ponta Delgada to Lisbon. Visit www.ryanair.com

4) Budget internal flights with EasyJet (www.easyjet.com) and Ryanair (www.ryanair.com) are operated between Lisbon (mainland Portugal) and Ponta Delgada (Azores). It may be easier for you to fly to Lisbon and book one of these internal flights. It could also be cheaper to book flights via Lisbon to Ponta Delgada which may involve booking a holiday for an odd duration to benefit from cheaper flights (we can provide you with a quote for odd durations of more or less than 7 nights to enable you to take advantage of cheaper flights going via Lisbon).

If you need stop over accommodation in Lisbon, we can organise this for you. Please ask us for details.
